Flying by the seat of your pants and hoping it all goes well, is certainly one strategy.
Planning ahead is also a strategy. That one tends to be more calming and produce better results.
What are you planning for 2026, 2027 and 2028?

Plan. Begin. Pivot. Continue.
This is how most of life goes.
You have a wish, desire or goal. You develop a little or big plan to achieve that goal. Then you start out all excited trying to achieve your goal.
Things then happen and you often will find out you need to pivot at that point.
From there it may all be fine so you can continue. However, if it is not all fine, you may need to pivot again.
Then repeat this process for everything you do in life. It’s that simple.

Plan Your Day
Ideally your day is planned a day ahead or more. As your life gets busier with important meetings, ceremonies or events, you may even start booking yourself a year or two in advance.
You may be part of a year-long concert tour starting eight months from now, or you might have tickets to the Olympics in 16 months. Regardless, you should be booking in the key events you want in your life.
You also benefit from blocking time with key tasks for tomorrow. What time will you wake up? Get out of bed? Eat breakfast? Get in your shower, get dressed, get to your work desk and start working
Note the priorities of the day and how much time each task will take. Make it a competition to see if you can complete a task in the time you allocated.
Once your day ahead is planned, you need to keep the plan close by and execute on your plan. Try not to let meetings over-run or too many distractions creep in. Remember, this plan is to achieve your priorities, not get distracted responding to other people’s priorities.
Stay focused. Move swiftly. Speak only when necessary. Keep interactions short but effective.

Write Out Your Plan
Get it down on paper. Start with 35 years from now. Note down what you’ll have done, been, seen and have. Write it like it came true.
You’ll start to focus on these points every day. Keep reading them and rewriting them. Soon they’ll start to appear in your life. You will be in awe, but keep going.

Plan Your Day
Plan your day the night before. Block time in your diary for all the essential things you must do tomorrow. From wake up, to shower and dress, eat three times, and two must-do essential things, block the times when you’ll be doing these things. Be realistic with the timing too.
Get better at selecting one or two essential items to prioritise and get better at estimating the time and other resources required for success.
Then you’ll be on the road to winning!

Plan! Plan! Plan!
No matter what you do, you should have a plan. A written plan is even better. It’s great to have thought things through a little and have written down those key points or elements.
This is great visualisation process and prepares you for speed bumps and other challenges you might encounter.
See the vision. Adjust as necessary.

Dream, Research, Plan, Execute.
Use this four step process to reach your exciting dreams. These are the very basic steps.
It does take some effort to think things through and to write it all down. The writing helps you hone in on the specific detail.
Take 60 minutes every month and review this plan. You should add new dreams to it then too.
Go on! Dream a little.
